Am runden Teppich.

Hamburg – Imam Ali Mosque.

The panorama is not very good, it was difficult to stitch the single wide-angle shots together without some transitions. But it gives a certain impression of the round prayer room with its high dome.

The mosque was built in 1960 - 1965 as the fourth oldest mosque in Germany. The construction costs at that time amounted to 2 million marks. The round prayer room is a skilful idea of the architect, as the shape of the property did not allow the prayer room to be oriented towards Mecca (Ka'bah: 21.4231 N, 39.8258 O).
